I find it a little ironic, reading this thread right after having an argument with Claude 3 about whether -3 is bigger or smaller than -2, and being unable to convince it of its error. These things are not as smart as we might think they are. And if they are smart enough to seem human already, well, that tells you something.
I spend a lot of time with LLMs these days, since I pay my bills by training them. My experience is that they are fragile just like all previous AI approaches; they just hide it better. It doesn't take much to push one right past the ability to make sense, and they never seem to recognize when that point is reached. Even a low-intelligence human will stop you and tell you they don't understand, or they don't know, or something -- barring interference from their ego, of course. These models lack that introspective ability. This is because they aren't paving new roads, they are just traversing old ones. If a line of thought is a familiar one, or can be composed through extremely simple interpolation of familiar ones, they are great. The moment you move into truly new territory, they fall apart. We have successfully built technology where the curtain we should look behind is embedded behind so much showiness and sleight of hand that we can't be bothered to take the peek most of the time. So we collectively assume the great and powerful Oz is real. For me, the goal post has not moved. We simply still have not built anything that can truly be said to have a mind or conscious experience. The Turing test was never a good way of measuring that; how else could Eliza have done so well?
